Your personal information will only be kept by us for as long as necessary to fulfil the reasons for which it was originally obtained, including to meet any obligations relating to compliance with legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

The quantity, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process the data, including whether those purposes can be met without the use of the data, and the applicable legal requirements are all taken into account when determining the appropriate retention period for personal data.

Your personal information will be kept and securely destroyed once you are no longer a Computime employee, contractor, or worker, in line with our data retention policy or any applicable laws and regulations.

Readers and Biometrics

Data on Customer employees is not collected or managed by Computime. The gathering of employee finger scan or face template data for Customers using Computime terminals with biometric facial recognition or finger scanning devices is done and managed by the Customer. The Customer uses this data to verify its employees are in line with its employee timekeeping requirements. Such information does not include fingerprints or face; it just consists of templates produced by mathematical algorithms.

The gathering of such data is not handled by or under the control of Computime. Instead, Computime Customers gather this employee data by using the finger scanning devices and associated software, and either store the information at the Customer-controlled site or in a secure space (by applicable law) made available by Computime in a cloud environment for that purpose.

If you would like more technical details of the systems and biometric data use in our systems please contact us at info@computimeuk.com
